Witch’s Hat Ring Team Game
1. For this version you’ll need 3 necklaces for each team and the necklaces should be two different colors.
2. You’ll need 6-8 chairs, 6-8 witch’s hats and guests to be part of the game.
Set Up
3. Set up 2 rows of chairs (either 3 or 4 in each row) and establish a necklace (ring) toss line 5 – 8 feet from the chairs.
4. Then have guests (6-8) sit in the seat and place a witch’s hat on their head.
5. Two players then are given 3 necklaces each (of the same color) and teams are named by the color of the glow necklaces.
Play
6. At the same time, players take their necklaces and try to toss on the witch’s hats worn by the seated guests.
7. Once a seated guest is ringed they join the team that ringed them and can then begin to try and ring other seated guests, but they can only use the necklaces of their team.
8. Once a team tosses all their necklaces, they must retrieve them and then return to behind the toss line before tossing again.
9. Play until all guests have been ringed by a glow necklace and the team with the most players at the end wins. If there is a tie play again, you can also play the game with an odd number of seated guests and that way there will always be a winning team.

These witch’s hat games are the perfect hand and eye coordination activities that are easy but still challenging. Increase difficulty by increasing the distance needed to ring a hat. Also consider adding more hats and placing them closer together to make the game easier for young children.
